The Crazy Ones s01e17 Episode Script
Heavy Meddling
I'm not gonna sugarcoat this.
Only some of you are gonna get this job.
It's a business of broken hearts.
But you know that you're professionals.
They're so cute! I just want to eat your little faces off! Oh, don't worry, I won't.
Okay, babies, for the purpose of this audition, you're babies, wearing our client's cute little outfits.
And action.
And scene.
Many of you were very good.
You, sir, were dogging it.
You know you were.
Yeah.
Look at him.
Someone has baby fever.
Guilty.
Our creative director, my daughter, is in a promising relationship, and I hope that one of you is in my near future.
And auditions like these will be unnecessary, because clearly I'm a big fan of nepotism.
Hey, piglet, how about you and me truffle hunt.
Come on, now.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Morning, beautiful.
I bet you say that to all the women who take you in after they get you fired.
All of 'em.
Mm.
No, I can't.
- I'm gonna be late for work.
- No, come on, you nerd.
You don't have to be on time for work.
Listen, a very wise person once said: "No matter what you do, "it's bound to be a waste of time in the end, so you may as well go mad.
" Who was that, Jack Kerouac? Kim Cattrall.
Well, in that case I guess I could be a little late.
There you go.
It's chill.
Yeah.
Oh, hey, I'm gonna hit the bathroom, unless you need it first.
Oh, no.
You go.
I hardly ever use the bathroom.
Hey, Jaleel.
Me, again.
Hey, I don't even know if I told you.
I just started seeing this guy, and he lost his job when I made out with him when he was cater-waitering, but his roommate was also his boss, so he also lost the couch that he was sleeping on, and I'm kind of letting him live with me in the meantime anyway, you know, it's a little too early or him to be thinking about me having, you know biological functions, so if I could just, uh, one more You da best, J-Man.
That's new.
Okay.
Uh oh, I'll take the one with the princess lighting up.
I don't smoke, but she's cute.
Okay.
I promise, last time, J-Man.
You da best.
Nice, real nice.
You should be paying me to use your bathroom.
I'm the only one cleaning it.
Oh, fine.
Give me three packs.
So, what if we had a JetSky Airlines plane shaking hands with of one of the many continents they fly over? Do you mean something like this? Bingo.
I got to tell you something, Andrew you are by far the best art director I have ever worked with, hands down.
SIMON: You've been doing some great work, Andrew, and I'm not just saying that 'cause Zach's on vacation.
Is he back yet? I made him promise to text me when he got back.
I don't see why he needs a vacation.
Every day's a vacation when you're Zach, right? What were we talking about? Me.
Really? Gold star, my boy.
Yeah, yeah, gold star, man.
You know what? You deserve that.
Aw, that kind of stuff doesn't really mean anything to me.
It's not like I need a cookie every time I do something good.
Although, if you're going to the break room, do you think you Cookie, right? Yeah, yeah, I'm on it.
Course.
Here's a fun game.
You know what annoying thing isn't happening right now? You inviting me to see opera in the park? Ah, that ship has sailed.
Your loss, by the way.
It was Der Rosenkavalier, which is a pants opera so-called because a woman takes on the male lead in this case, a mezzo soprano played Octavian.
That's stupid.
Anyway, the annoying thing that isn't happening, is me having to clean my stupid desk because stupid Zach has put his stupid feet up on it.
Nice George keeps his nice feet on the floor.
Come on, you miss Zach.
Eh, yeah.
He's just got some annoying habits.
I'm gonna say it.
You know, a week without Zach has been a refreshing change of pace.
I'm not even gonna feel guilty about it.
Hey, look who's back! And with gifts for everyone.
And for those of you who think I got them at O'Hare Airport, you couldn't be more wrong.
- I got them at Miami Airport.
- Ooh! I've hated every second you've been gone.
Oh, my God, I am so sorry I'm I've never been so proud.
Owen has been such a wonderful influence on you.
Where are you two at? Tell, tell, tell.
I want to know everything.
He's awesome.
And he's so talented.
Wait, look at this picture he took of me.
Ooh! Oh, wait, not that one.
Here, this one.
Whoa, what a wonderful photo.
I've never seen you look happier.
He's so into you.
He's either gonna marry you or bury your head under a bridge.
Oh, I love beginnings.
So, are you two officially a couple? Is there an awkward Thanksgiving in our future? Maybe.
I mean, it's crazy, you know? I'm suddenly in this living-together relationship, but I still have to be on first-date behavior.
I have to look my best, act my best, avoid messy foods.
I mean, if I had to say one thing about him There it is there's the seed that grows into a break-up.
No.
Uh I mean, it's just that he hasn't even started looking for a job yet.
But I don't mind.
I mean, I kind of like that he's not all caught up in the rat race.
My cousin runs a rat race.
Either way, it's not a deal breaker.
You know what? You're right.
This relationship went from zero to 60 overnight.
The wind is in our hair.
The car is zooming, sister.
We're just adjusting to it, that's all.
Yeah.
It's over, Lauren there go my grandkids.
Good-bye, little Benjamin Simon.
Ciao, Simone Simon.
See you later, Lou Diamond Simon.
Who knows, maybe it'll work out for her.
She once broke up with a guy because he used the phrase, "awesome sauce.
" Right.
That's my daughter.
She obsesses about one little thing until she blows.
I'm supposed to think a guy without a job's gonna last? Oh, well, what are you gonna do, right? Nothing.
Though, frankly, I'm as emotionally invested in this as she is.
Basically, she's living with a guy, and it's working.
When are the stars ever going to align like this again for us? Oh I can't meddle.
I just can't.
Or can I? Is my eyebrow going up? No.
Would you? I'm still on first-date behavior at home with Owen.
I haven't had a good slop-burger in, like, three days.
Oh.
It's a medical condition, really.
I have a very high metabolism.
Holy crap! He's coming! May I have your attention, please? Everyone, this is - Owen Winters.
- What is going on? I don't know.
You may know him as Sydney's hunky live-in boyfriend, but he is also a Peter Parker-level photographer and our newest employee.
Don't clap for yourself.
Why would you do this? - Hmm? - Do you think I can't handle - my personal life without your help? - I wasn't helping you, I was helping the agency.
He has a very impressive portfolio.
You saw one picture on a cell phone.
Come on, admit it, you're hiring him because you want to see me happy.
When you say it out loud, it does sound evil.
Okay, fine, I was meddling.
I've never meddled before.
I'd like to say it won't happen again, but I think - I've found my inner yenta.
- This is gonna be a disaster.
You realize I have to be on first-date behavior 24/7.
Let me ask you this: When you chat with your friends on the phone and they ask what he does, do you say he's unemployed? - No.
I - Mm-hmm.
Act like I can't hear them, and then I tell them my carbon monoxide alarm's going off and I hang up.
- What will you say now? - He's a photographer.
But not one of those artsy-fartsy ones he makes bank.
Okay, maybe this could work.
That's the spirit.
I promise this'll be great.
Say "this'll be great.
" This'll be great.
Say it again.
This'll be great? Let it go.
This'll be great.
Are the needles they use for permanent makeup painful? Did you say, "Was Abraham Lincoln gay?" Oh! Dewey, how could you be so adorably clumsy? Instagram! Don't touch me.
So, let me catch you up.
Yeah.
Accounting wants us to start submitting our hours in the I'm gonna let you get that open.
When you're starving, that is when it takes an hour to open.
So, anyway Oh the time sheet program is a whole new deal now.
What we're gonna I mean, for the love of Mike Singletary, do you mind? What's wrong, bud? It's just, like, your feet are on my desk, you're eating noisy food, and how starving can you be when you take one bite of your sandwich before throwing it out, bud? You've never complained about this stuff before.
Sorry.
I'll be honest with you.
While you while you were gone, I was, uh with someone.
Was it that chick from the media department, the one who hides booze in the copy machine? No.
I mean I worked with another partner while you were gone.
Oh.
I mean, it wasn't like I was planning on working with somebody else; it just sort of happened.
I was on vacation; I totally get it.
Right, right.
How was it? Uh, different.
You know, not better or worse; it was just different.
H-How so? He didn't put his feet up on the desk, or eat noisy food.
He complimented me, which is not something you do so much.
That doesn't sound different, that sounds better.
Look, it meant nothing.
Can we just get back to work? You think that you're not annoying? I've clearly touched a nerve.
That was not my intention.
No.
You touch my computer screen like it's an iPad, but that doesn't do anything.
Well, you know what, it does do, it does do one thing it it really upsets me.
I would never want to hurt you, okay? George is just a surprisingly generous partner.
And I'm not? No.
The problem here is that you have been with a bunch of partners, but me, I've only been with you.
Hey, maybe that's a mistake.
So what are you saying? We should work with other people.
I think that's the best idea you've ever had.
You happy about that idea? I'm kind of ecstatic about it.
Sounds like a lightbulb to me.
Well, I'm taking back the Miami Sound Machine! You don't mind if I put my feet up here, do you? Not at all, bud.
Right on, Rodney.
My name is Peter.
Classic Rodney.
No, really, it's Peter.
I can't get enough of this bit.
Hilarious.
That's my George.
Oh, my gosh.
Did you do this while I was gone? Yeah.
- Or is Van Gogh temping here today? - Thanks.
I mean, seriously, this mock-up the word "mock" has no place in it, okay, because nobody could possibly mock this! Thanks.
And this color.
This color.
I've-I've never seen it before.
Did you invent this color? - Yeah.
Call it green.
Are you screwing with me? - What? It's just it's a little much with the compliments.
I'm not sure I deserve all that.
And he's modest, too.
Yeah, I know.
We could we could definitely cool it on the compliments.
It's, uh it's it's all right.
- Sure.
Sure.
- Thanks, man.
Yeah, no, uh message received.
- Totally appreciate it.
- No problem.
Okay.
You okay? You seem a little, like, tense.
Tense? Why would I be tense? I don't know.
Maybe 'cause you're missing these.
Okay.
The reason that you found that pack of cigarettes is Look, I get it.
You're a super hard-core smoker.
But the company that makes these is not messing around.
These are unfiltered.
The tar content's through the roof.
And there's a recipe on the back for something called a nicotini.
No, the reason I had to buy those is to use the bathroom in a tobacco store because I'm not comfortable using the bathroom in front of you.
Good, we found her.
This looks like a private moment.
Yeah, it does.
Why would you be uncomfortable using the bathroom in your own house? Come on, it's unnatural as it is, us living together the night we met.
I mean, you know hard it is to keep up any mystery under those circumstances? I don't care about mystery.
Oh, yeah, all guys say that, and then, your cat bats around one tampon out of the garbage can, and all of a sudden, "It's not you, it's me.
" What people don't realize is, the cat is giving you a gift.
It's actually kind of sweet, if you think about it.
You know what? I can't hide who I am anymore.
I'm not always camera ready.
Do you know how many hours it takes me to look this effortless? And during those countless hours, all I've been doing is dreaming about eating something sloppy and messy and saucy and sloppy.
You said sloppy twice.
Because that's how badly I want that hot dog.
Ooh.
Oh.
Oh, man.
Oh! And in case it's not obvious, I am not chill.
I don't take chill pills, although I did take a Lorazepam this morning, and it is not helping.
Okay.
I wet the bed till I was 12.
I've put down people who drink Starbucks as silly yuppies, but the truth is, I love their coffee, and it's where I get all my CDs.
Oh, and that thunderstorm we listened to the other night? I was scared.
Like five-year-old-girl-level scared.
It's electricity in the sky! You still buy CDs? See, honesty is key to a relationship.
None of us are perfect, right? You know, I snore.
I've got dancers' feet.
I've been naked on every table on this office.
Yeah.
I do feel better.
Mm.
I won't be touching any surfaces.
And I should, uh, probably mention, I'm also arachnophobic, claustrophobic and pedophobic.
Okay.
Um, spiders, tight spaces, but pedophobic? - Fear of babies.
- Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
It's not fear of babies.
It's fear of feet.
No, no, I'm good with feet.
As long as it's not baby feet.
So I guess I'm pedopedaphobic.
You know what? I am living with a freak, and it's not even a deal breaker.
Owen's afraid of babies.
That's a deal breaker.
Says here the only cure for pedophobia is immersion therapy.
If only I had a group of cute little babies in cute little outfits I could throw Owen in the middle of.
Huh? This looks like a job for the Meddler.
Yeah.
Babies.
Why did it have to be babies? Son, back in the '80s, I had this crippling fear of open spaces.
- Agoraphobia? - No.
Paranoia brought on by massive amounts of coke.
The pedophobia experts both of them say this is the way you kick this thing.
You've gotta confront your fear, son.
Trust me, he is more afraid of you than you are of him.
Come on, get in there, pal.
Yeah? Oh, God.
Aah! Come on, you can do this.
Okay.
Yeah, so blue.
It's a blue bear.
So blue.
Messy blue bear this one uh, this one's broken.
Can somebody give it a grape? Dad, why is Owen shooting this? Ann Geddes is in the lobby, taking a nap in someone's hand.
We don't need Ann.
Afraid of babies? Pshaw.
He's fantastic with babies! Look at him.
Look at him.
He's just Oh, another one.
Hi.
Oh, a brown one.
Uh, this one's moving! I think this one came unstapled! Okay, I'm waking Ann up.
No, no, no, no.
- Just give him more time.
- Oh, no.
You know what? If-If you have somebody else, really, it's not a big No, get back in there! No, no.
He just needs more time to fall in love with babies.
Why? Oh, my God, you're pregnant.
Keep it.
We'll raise it as an agency.
I'm not pregnant! We've been dating a week.
Then why are we talking about babies? Because it's important for you to think about your future.
I've thought about my future.
There's this island in France where everybody lives to be, like, over 100 years old.
It's something in the water, or the wine they don't really know but if you ask me, it's kind of a no-brainer.
I think everybody in the world should move there, so, that's my future.
Oh, come on, there'll be babies on that island.
You've got to get over this.
Hey, take a shot of this little guy.
Spider baby! Hey.
Spider baby! Hey.
Remember that time when you and Andrew were trying to flick those into each other's mouths, and you hit him in the eye, and he got a cataract from the trauma, and had to get laser surgery? Hmm.
Almost forgot about that.
Oh.
Memories.
You know what might cheer you up? Have you ever been to a rat race? They're surprisingly fast.
Look, it's I haven't been able to find that magic I had with Andrew with anyone else, and I've tried.
I hate to admit this, but monogamy works best for me.
With Andrew.
Working.
At work.
Not in my personal life.
Right here.
Are you kidding? Can you imagine me? No.
Hello.
Hey, honey.
I'm home.
Oh.
You do know Andrew and George are pitching JetSky Airlines, like, right now.
If JetSky buys the pitch, Andrew will be on the account with George for a long time.
How do you? Welcome.
Welcome.
He started this.
I can't make the first move.
Ugh, men.
You need to get it together.
Otherwise, at the end of the day, you'll both just be miserable.
Yeah? Yeah.
I have to stop that pitch.
Go.
Go to him! I don't want to wait for our lives to be over I want to know right now, what will it be? I don't want to wait For our lives to be over Will it be yes, or will it be Sorry? Don't get on that plane account.
Why shouldn't I? Because I don't want to be with anyone else.
When I first started, I asked Simon, "Who's the best art guy? That's who I want to work with.
" You make me better every day.
Hey, look, I-I've put a lot into this thing with George, and it wouldn't be right to abandon him.
I understand.
I just had to try.
So open up your morning light And say a little prayer for I Hey, excuse me, everyone.
We're gonna go ahead and close the doors now, because the pitch is about to start.
Andrew? Look, I'm sorry, George.
I wish you all the luck in the world, but I'm going with Zach.
Wow.
I, uh I didn't see that one coming.
But, uh, you know, you were just gracious.
And is it weird to write a thank you note to someone who just broke up with you? Good-bye, George.
Yeah.
So, are you still going to put your feet up on my desk? And eat messy food, and make fun of your hair.
You make fun of my hair? Feel like we gave it a pretty good go, right? Yeah we just want different things.
It usually takes a while to figure that out, but when you spend as much time together as we have, you figure it out kind of quickly.
If you add up the hours we spent together, this is my longest relationship in, like, ten years.
Me, too.
Okay.
Well, um, oh, hey, I have some great ideas about rearranging your furniture, but, well, I'll-I'll just see you at home.
Um, Owen, uh you know you have to move out, right? Oh.
Yeah, no, right, yeah, of course.
I just I didn't want to assume.
See you bright and early at work tomorrow! Um you also know that this I'm messing with you.
Right.
Yeah.
I knew that.
Mm-hmm.
Now if you'll excuse me, I need to find a friend with a couch I can crash on where there are no tight spaces, babies or spiders.
Oh, and that's on the ground level.
What, you're acrophobic, too? We're on the fifteenth floor.
That's how much I liked you, babe.
Well, he was definitely the sexiest scaredy-cat I ever dated.
Well, I'm sorry it's over.
And that I meddled.
No, it's fine.
It's just, I have a good life.
I feel like I have it all, except - No, except grandkids.
- No.
I mean, sure, I'd love to have grandkids one day, but what I really wanted was for you to have it all.
I love seeing you happy.
Well, let's be honest we all knew from the start that Owen was not the right one for me.
Yeah.
But it was fun.
Mm-hmm.
Until it wasn't.
I did love seeing how happy my being with Owen made you.
- Well, aren't we just the selfless pair? - Apparently so.
That's a full head of hair.
Kid's got sideburns.
That's weird.
The kid's got sideburns.
As much as it sounds - better - Tomato, "potahto.
" Look, let's get back to work.
It didn't mean anything.
Potato, "tomahto.
" Matthew Yeah! Yeah!
Only some of you are gonna get this job.
It's a business of broken hearts.
But you know that you're professionals.
They're so cute! I just want to eat your little faces off! Oh, don't worry, I won't.

I'd like to say it won't happen again, but I think - I've found my inner yenta.
- This is gonna be a disaster.
You realize I have to be on first-date behavior 24/7.
Let me ask you this: When you chat with your friends on the phone and they ask what he does, do you say he's unemployed? - No.
I - Mm-hmm.
Act like I can't hear them, and then I tell them my carbon monoxide alarm's going off and I hang up.
- What will you say now? - He's a photographer.
But not one of those artsy-fartsy ones he makes bank.
Okay, maybe this could work.
That's the spirit.
I promise this'll be great.
Say "this'll be great.
" This'll be great.
Say it again.
This'll be great? Let it go.
This'll be great.
Are the needles they use for permanent makeup painful? Did you say, "Was Abraham Lincoln gay?" Oh! Dewey, how could you be so adorably clumsy? Instagram! Don't touch me.
So, let me catch you up.
Yeah.
Accounting wants us to start submitting our hours in the I'm gonna let you get that open.
When you're starving, that is when it takes an hour to open.
So, anyway Oh the time sheet program is a whole new deal now.
What we're gonna I mean, for the love of Mike Singletary, do you mind? What's wrong, bud? It's just, like, your feet are on my desk, you're eating noisy food, and how starving can you be when you take one bite of your sandwich before throwing it out, bud? You've never complained about this stuff before.
Sorry.
I'll be honest with you.
While you while you were gone, I was, uh with someone.
Was it that chick from the media department, the one who hides booze in the copy machine? No.
I mean I worked with another partner while you were gone.
Oh.
I mean, it wasn't like I was planning on working with somebody else; it just sort of happened.
I was on vacation; I totally get it.
Right, right.
How was it? Uh, different.
You know, not better or worse; it was just different.
H-How so? He didn't put his feet up on the desk, or eat noisy food.
He complimented me, which is not something you do so much.
That doesn't sound different, that sounds better.
Look, it meant nothing.
Can we just get back to work? You think that you're not annoying? I've clearly touched a nerve.
That was not my intention.
No.
You touch my computer screen like it's an iPad, but that doesn't do anything.
Well, you know what, it does do, it does do one thing it it really upsets me.
I would never want to hurt you, okay? George is just a surprisingly generous partner.
And I'm not? No.
The problem here is that you have been with a bunch of partners, but me, I've only been with you.
Hey, maybe that's a mistake.
So what are you saying? We should work with other people.
I think that's the best idea you've ever had.
You happy about that idea? I'm kind of ecstatic about it.
Sounds like a lightbulb to me.
Well, I'm taking back the Miami Sound Machine! You don't mind if I put my feet up here, do you? Not at all, bud.
Right on, Rodney.
My name is Peter.
Classic Rodney.
No, really, it's Peter.
I can't get enough of this bit.
Hilarious.
That's my George.
Oh, my gosh.
Did you do this while I was gone? Yeah.
- Or is Van Gogh temping here today? - Thanks.
I mean, seriously, this mock-up the word "mock" has no place in it, okay, because nobody could possibly mock this! Thanks.
And this color.
This color.
I've-I've never seen it before.
Did you invent this color? - Yeah.
Call it green.
Are you screwing with me? - What? It's just it's a little much with the compliments.
I'm not sure I deserve all that.
And he's modest, too.
Yeah, I know.
We could we could definitely cool it on the compliments.
It's, uh it's it's all right.
- Sure.
Sure.
- Thanks, man.
Yeah, no, uh message received.
- Totally appreciate it.
- No problem.
Okay.
You okay? You seem a little, like, tense.
Tense? Why would I be tense? I don't know.
Maybe 'cause you're missing these.
Okay.
The reason that you found that pack of cigarettes is Look, I get it.
You're a super hard-core smoker.
But the company that makes these is not messing around.
These are unfiltered.
The tar content's through the roof.
And there's a recipe on the back for something called a nicotini.
No, the reason I had to buy those is to use the bathroom in a tobacco store because I'm not comfortable using the bathroom in front of you.
Good, we found her.
This looks like a private moment.
Yeah, it does.
Why would you be uncomfortable using the bathroom in your own house? Come on, it's unnatural as it is, us living together the night we met.
I mean, you know hard it is to keep up any mystery under those circumstances? I don't care about mystery.
Oh, yeah, all guys say that, and then, your cat bats around one tampon out of the garbage can, and all of a sudden, "It's not you, it's me.
" What people don't realize is, the cat is giving you a gift.
It's actually kind of sweet, if you think about it.
You know what? I can't hide who I am anymore.
I'm not always camera ready.
Do you know how many hours it takes me to look this effortless? And during those countless hours, all I've been doing is dreaming about eating something sloppy and messy and saucy and sloppy.
You said sloppy twice.
Because that's how badly I want that hot dog.
Ooh.
Oh.
Oh, man.
Oh! And in case it's not obvious, I am not chill.
I don't take chill pills, although I did take a Lorazepam this morning, and it is not helping.
Okay.
I wet the bed till I was 12.
I've put down people who drink Starbucks as silly yuppies, but the truth is, I love their coffee, and it's where I get all my CDs.
Oh, and that thunderstorm we listened to the other night? I was scared.
Like five-year-old-girl-level scared.
It's electricity in the sky! You still buy CDs? See, honesty is key to a relationship.
None of us are perfect, right? You know, I snore.
I've got dancers' feet.
I've been naked on every table on this office.
Yeah.
I do feel better.
Mm.
I won't be touching any surfaces.
And I should, uh, probably mention, I'm also arachnophobic, claustrophobic and pedophobic.
Okay.
Um, spiders, tight spaces, but pedophobic? - Fear of babies.
- Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
It's not fear of babies.
It's fear of feet.
No, no, I'm good with feet.
As long as it's not baby feet.
So I guess I'm pedopedaphobic.
You know what? I am living with a freak, and it's not even a deal breaker.
Owen's afraid of babies.
That's a deal breaker.
Says here the only cure for pedophobia is immersion therapy.
If only I had a group of cute little babies in cute little outfits I could throw Owen in the middle of.
Huh? This looks like a job for the Meddler.
Yeah.
Babies.
Why did it have to be babies? Son, back in the '80s, I had this crippling fear of open spaces.
- Agoraphobia? - No.
Paranoia brought on by massive amounts of coke.
The pedophobia experts both of them say this is the way you kick this thing.
You've gotta confront your fear, son.
Trust me, he is more afraid of you than you are of him.
Come on, get in there, pal.
Yeah? Oh, God.
Aah! Come on, you can do this.
Okay.
Yeah, so blue.
It's a blue bear.
So blue.
Messy blue bear this one uh, this one's broken.
Can somebody give it a grape? Dad, why is Owen shooting this? Ann Geddes is in the lobby, taking a nap in someone's hand.
We don't need Ann.
Afraid of babies? Pshaw.
He's fantastic with babies! Look at him.
Look at him.
He's just Oh, another one.
Hi.
Oh, a brown one.
Uh, this one's moving! I think this one came unstapled! Okay, I'm waking Ann up.
No, no, no, no.
- Just give him more time.
- Oh, no.
You know what? If-If you have somebody else, really, it's not a big No, get back in there! No, no.
He just needs more time to fall in love with babies.
Why? Oh, my God, you're pregnant.
Keep it.
We'll raise it as an agency.
I'm not pregnant! We've been dating a week.
Then why are we talking about babies? Because it's important for you to think about your future.
I've thought about my future.
There's this island in France where everybody lives to be, like, over 100 years old.
It's something in the water, or the wine they don't really know but if you ask me, it's kind of a no-brainer.
I think everybody in the world should move there, so, that's my future.
Oh, come on, there'll be babies on that island.
You've got to get over this.
Hey, take a shot of this little guy.
Spider baby! Hey.
Spider baby! Hey.
Remember that time when you and Andrew were trying to flick those into each other's mouths, and you hit him in the eye, and he got a cataract from the trauma, and had to get laser surgery? Hmm.
Almost forgot about that.
Oh.
Memories.
You know what might cheer you up? Have you ever been to a rat race? They're surprisingly fast.
Look, it's I haven't been able to find that magic I had with Andrew with anyone else, and I've tried.
I hate to admit this, but monogamy works best for me.
With Andrew.
Working.
At work.
Not in my personal life.
Right here.
Are you kidding? Can you imagine me? No.
Hello.
Hey, honey.
I'm home.
Oh.
You do know Andrew and George are pitching JetSky Airlines, like, right now.
If JetSky buys the pitch, Andrew will be on the account with George for a long time.
How do you? Welcome.
Welcome.
He started this.
I can't make the first move.
Ugh, men.
You need to get it together.
Otherwise, at the end of the day, you'll both just be miserable.
Yeah? Yeah.
I have to stop that pitch.
Go.
Go to him! I don't want to wait for our lives to be over I want to know right now, what will it be? I don't want to wait For our lives to be over Will it be yes, or will it be Sorry? Don't get on that plane account.
Why shouldn't I? Because I don't want to be with anyone else.
When I first started, I asked Simon, "Who's the best art guy? That's who I want to work with.
" You make me better every day.
Hey, look, I-I've put a lot into this thing with George, and it wouldn't be right to abandon him.
I understand.
I just had to try.
So open up your morning light And say a little prayer for I Hey, excuse me, everyone.
We're gonna go ahead and close the doors now, because the pitch is about to start.
Andrew? Look, I'm sorry, George.
I wish you all the luck in the world, but I'm going with Zach.
Wow.
I, uh I didn't see that one coming.
But, uh, you know, you were just gracious.
And is it weird to write a thank you note to someone who just broke up with you? Good-bye, George.
Yeah.
So, are you still going to put your feet up on my desk? And eat messy food, and make fun of your hair.
You make fun of my hair? Feel like we gave it a pretty good go, right? Yeah we just want different things.
It usually takes a while to figure that out, but when you spend as much time together as we have, you figure it out kind of quickly.
If you add up the hours we spent together, this is my longest relationship in, like, ten years.
Me, too.
Okay.
Well, um, oh, hey, I have some great ideas about rearranging your furniture, but, well, I'll-I'll just see you at home.
Um, Owen, uh you know you have to move out, right? Oh.
Yeah, no, right, yeah, of course.
I just I didn't want to assume.
See you bright and early at work tomorrow! Um you also know that this I'm messing with you.
Right.
Yeah.
I knew that.
Mm-hmm.
Now if you'll excuse me, I need to find a friend with a couch I can crash on where there are no tight spaces, babies or spiders.
Oh, and that's on the ground level.
What, you're acrophobic, too? We're on the fifteenth floor.
That's how much I liked you, babe.
Well, he was definitely the sexiest scaredy-cat I ever dated.
Well, I'm sorry it's over.
And that I meddled.
No, it's fine.
It's just, I have a good life.
I feel like I have it all, except - No, except grandkids.
- No.
I mean, sure, I'd love to have grandkids one day, but what I really wanted was for you to have it all.
I love seeing you happy.
Well, let's be honest we all knew from the start that Owen was not the right one for me.
Yeah.
But it was fun.
Mm-hmm.
Until it wasn't.
I did love seeing how happy my being with Owen made you.
- Well, aren't we just the selfless pair? - Apparently so.
That's a full head of hair.
Kid's got sideburns.
That's weird.
The kid's got sideburns.
As much as it sounds - better - Tomato, "potahto.
" Look, let's get back to work.
It didn't mean anything.
Potato, "tomahto.
" Matthew Yeah! Yeah!
